In Other News: Hamish’s Covers and European Tour, Another Taormina Gig, and Other Dates…

On a more positive note to the previous post, there was a lovely post (and longer, more detailed newsletter) from Hamish Hawk this morning requesting fans send in their proposals for a song for him and the band to cover for a future release. There is a form to fill out to place in your…

In Other News – New Releases And New Gig Dates For Europe And Brazil

Yesterday saw the release of the ‘new’ Sparkle In The Rain (belated) 40th anniversary box set release. You can see how it looks with this unboxing video by Paul Sinclair of Super Deluxe Edition. Even Paul was saying ‘But £75? Yikes!’ I actually would like it now I’ve seen the unboxing, but I’ll bide my…

Like Riding A Bike…

I just watched this and man, was I giggling. He doesn’t seem so sure on the old bike there. Lol. I’m sure he’s had easier rides… ???? It’s a short clip but I just love this kind of stuff surfacing. Jim “double denim” Kerr, circa 1986.

Minds Music Monday – Something Different – Until Next Week – Kant Kino Tantrum Remix

Normal service for MMM will resume next week, but until then I’d like to share a special gift from my mate Baggers. Kant Kino is one of my favourite, if not my MOST FAVOURITE, Simple Minds instrumental. Only problem is, it’s so short! “No probs. I’ll sort it!”, said Baggers to me and lo! He…
